After more than a year in the making, the guys from Sushi Bistro on Balboa are expanding and bringing their
sushi innovations and fresh-off-the-hook standards to the up-and-coming part of the Mission known more for
Mexican bakeries than raw fish—and it's just opened.

If you're out around 24th Street looking for a quick bite (that's not a burrito), you'll like your options
here.

Walk in past the gigantic 15-gallon drum of sake (an opening gift from a brewery-friend) to the seven-seat
sushi bar helmed by owner/chef Sheen Zhou. If they're pouring from the drum, toast the restaurant's success
then order starters like the flame-torched Butterfish Blasters and sake-doused Drunken
Halibut before turning to sushi.

The baby lobster/avocado/shrimp tempura C-2 Roll and the spicy albacore Monster-In-Law are
two signature rolls that'll set you up nicely for fresh uni from Hokkaido or jumbo hamachi flown fresh from
Japan overnight.
